Luna Wolf: Destiny of Jupiter (Luna Wolf Series Book One)

Chapter Six

As Eliana showers, she begins to think about everything that happened to her in the last twenty-four hours.

"I can't believe all of these things had happened to me, Jupiter. Why would this Jeremy person hate my grandfather? Especially with him having the guts to come after me," says Eliana inside of her head.

Jupiter says inside of Eliana's head, "I wish I knew, Eliana. The important thing is that we are safe and that we are with our mate."

Eliana felt a rush of gratitude for Jupiter's presence, grounding her amidst the chaos. "You're right," she thought back, determination igniting within her, "but I need to understand the reason behind all of this if we're going to stay safe."

Jupiter then says, "You're right. But right now, let's focus on getting settled into our new surroundings, and then we'll focus on dealing with the threat of Jeremy later."

Eliana nodded, her mind racing with questions, yet knowing that their immediate priority was to establish a sense of normalcy. "You're right, Jupiter. I know that our mate will keep us safe."

She finishes her shower, and then she gets out of it. Then she realizes she has no clothes to put on. She contemplated what to do. After a few minutes she decided to call out for Kelly.

Eliana knocks on the door to get Kelly's attention. "Hey Kelly." "Everything okay, Eliana?" "I just realized I don't have any clothes to wear." "Oh s**t. I'll go and ask Allison if you could borrow some of her clothes for now." Eliana sighed in relief, grateful for Kelly's willingness to help. Eliana wrapped herself in a towel as she waited, hoping for a swift resolution to the situation.

Eliana heard a knock on the bathroom door. "Who is it?" she called out, still wrapped in her towel. "It's Alison; I have some clothes for you!" came the cheerful reply. Eliana felt a wave of relief wash over her as she hurried to open the door. When she swung the door open, Alison stood there with various outfits in her hands.

"I hope these fit you!" Alison smiled, and Eliana quickly grabbed the clothes, thankful for her friend's kindness. After closing the door again, Eliana began to sort through the options. She felt grateful to have such supportive friends during her wardrobe crisis.

Eliana unfolded the first outfit, a vibrant sundress adorned with floral patterns. It was perfect for a sunny day out, bringing a cheerful vibe to her wardrobe. Next, she picked up a stylish pair of high-waisted jeans paired with a cozy oversized sweater, ideal for a casual outing. This outfit offered both comfort and trendy flair.

Then, she discovered a chic blazer and tailored trousers, perfect for a more polished, professional look. Eliana appreciated how versatile this combination could be for different occasions. Lastly, she found a fun, sporty ensemble featuring leggings and a graphic tee, perfect for a workout or lounging at home. Each option brought her excitement, showcasing her friend's thoughtful selection.

Eliana decided on the sporty ensemble featuring leggings and a graphic tee. As she slipped into the comfortable fabric of the outfit, she felt a sense of ease. Then she walked out of the bathroom, and she saw Kelly playing on his phone on the bed.

Eliana couldn't help but smile at the sight of him, fully absorbed in his game. She walked over, playfully nudging him with her elbow, and asked what he was so engrossed in.

Kelly looked up, a grin spreading across his face as he paused the game. "You won't believe it! I'm just about to beat my high score," he replied, his excitement infectious. Eliana leaned closer, intrigued, and began to ask him about the game, eager to share in his enthusiasm.

Kelly quickly launched back into his explanation, animatedly describing the challenges and strategies he had employed to reach this point. Eliana found herself drawn into his world, captivated by his passion and the thrill of competition.

Suddenly, she leaned in and kissed Kelly on the lips, surprising him.

As the kiss lingered, a spark ignited between Kelly and Eliana, their hearts racing in unison. Kelly pulled back slightly, his eyes wide with surprise and delight, while Eliana blushed, her cheeks warming.

"Wow, I didn't see that coming," he murmured, a smile spreading across his face. Eliana bit her lip, her gaze locked onto his, feeling a mix of exhilaration and vulnerability. "Neither did I," she admitted softly, her voice barely above a whisper.

The air around them felt electric, as if the kiss had shifted everything. They both knew this moment was just the beginning of something deeper, something worth exploring.

Eliana took a deep breath, her heart racing with anticipation. As they stood there, the world around them faded, leaving only the two of them and the unspoken promise hanging in the air.

Their eyes locked, and in that silence, a thousand possibilities danced between them. Eliana reached out, her fingers brushing against his, igniting a spark that sent shivers down her spine.

With that simple touch, the atmosphere shifted, and Eliana felt an overwhelming urge to bridge the gap between them. She knew that this connection was more than just a fleeting moment; it was the start of a journey that could change everything.

As their hands intertwined, a rush of warmth spread through her, filling her with a sense of courage she hadn't expected. She inhaled deeply and leaned in closer, eager to discover more about the uncharted territory of her heart and the depths of their newly formed bond.

The world around them faded, leaving only the two of them in that sacred space. With each heartbeat, she felt the possibilities expand, inviting her to take a leap of faith in the unknown.

A spark ignited inside her as she stared into his eyes, telling her to let go of her worries and savor the present. It was a chance to rewrite her story, to step boldly into the future, hand in hand with someone who made her feel truly alive.

Eliana and Kelly pulled away from kissing, both breathless and wide-eyed. "Wow," Eliana whispered, her heart racing from the moment they just shared. "Wow," Kelly whispered from the emotion and passion they experienced.

Eliana couldn't help but smile, the warmth of the moment wrapping around her like a soft blanket. As they caught their breath, she realized that this was only the beginning of a beautiful adventure together.

Eliana then says, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do that all of a sudden." The surprise of the kiss lingered in the air, mixed with the thrill of their connection. Kelly looked at Eliana, a blend of confusion and excitement in her eyes. "It's okay," he replied, a smile breaking through his initial shock.

"I don't know what made me do that. It just felt right for some reason." "I completely understand, Eliana. I've been wanting to kiss you all day." "You mean that Kelly?" "Absolutely," he affirmed, stepping closer. The warmth between them intensified as Eliana's heart raced, her doubts melting away in the glow of his sincerity.

Eliana's stomach growled all of a sudden, a blend of confusion and excitement in her eyes. Kelly suggested, "Why don’t we go down to the pack kitchen and get something to eat?" Eliana chuckled softly, her heart still fluttering from their earlier moment. "That sounds great! I could use some food after all this excitement," she replied, trying to regain her composure.

Kelly smiled, appreciating her attempt to lighten the mood. As they walked out of the room side by side, the tension began to shift into a comfortable camaraderie. Eliana's stomach growled again, making them both laugh as they entered the kitchen. The aroma of freshly prepared meals filled the air, drawing them closer to the counter.

Then an older couple approached Kelly and Eliana. "Alpha, Luna, how can we help you?" "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Pollard. It's been a long time since I last saw you," says Kelly with a sincere tone.

"Eliana, may I introduce to you Mr. and Mrs. Pollard, the head omega kitchen supervisors of the Desert Luna pack kitchen? Mr. and Mrs. Pollard, may I introduce to you my newly discovered mate, Eliana?"

The couple's faces lit up with warmth at the introduction. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Eliana," Mrs. Pollard said, reaching out to shake her hand.

Eliana smiled, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as she returned the handshake. "Thank you, it's lovely to meet you both," she replied, appreciating the warmth radiating from the couple.

Eliana's stomach growls again as the aroma of freshly cooked food fills the kitchen. She can't help but feel a pang of hunger while trying to focus on the conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Pollard. "Is everything okay, dear?"

Mr. Pollard asks, noticing her distraction. Eliana blushes slightly and nods. "Yes, I'm just a bit hungry," she admits with a shy smile. The couple chuckles warmly, and Mrs. Pollard reassures her, "Dinner will be ready shortly." Eliana's excitement grows as she imagines the delicious meal ahead, grateful for this new connection.

"What's on the menu tonight, Mr. and Mrs. Pollard?" Kelly asks with a curious smile. Mrs. Pollard smiles and replies, "Tonight, we're having grilled salmon." She continues,

"Alongside it, we'll serve garlic mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus." Eliana's eyes widen in delight at the thought of the meal. The couple adds a fresh garden salad tossed in a light vinaigrette to complete the dinner spread.

Dorian and Allison walked into the pack kitchen. Dorian approached Kelly and Eliana, smiling warmly. "How are the two of you settling in?" he inquired, genuinely interested. Kelly grinned and replied, "We're adjusting well, thank you!" Eliana nodded, adding, "It's been nice so far, thank you."

Dorian's smile widened as he gestured toward the dining table. "I'm glad to hear that! Mrs. Pollard then says dinner is ready. Dorian says, "Shall we?" Everyone nodded their heads in agreement and made their way towards the place where the food was set up.
